I have two preemies. One born at 29 weeks (girl, who is almost 10 now) and one born at 33 weeks (boy, who is now 6 1/2). My son was born with a rare, congenital heart defect, as well as stomach, kidney and eye defects. He had eight surgeries before his fifth birthday and still needs an open heart procedure. We have almost lost him twice, but he is unbelievably strong and totally hilarioius. He keeps me on my toes with his EXTREME honesty...especially with complete strangers. This links to my "Shameless Statements" on my blog, where I list some of his horrifying comments. http://momo-fali.blogspot.com/search/label/Shameless%20Statements

just saying hello!
i am mom of five, grandmom of one and a NICU RN. I also had two preemies: one @36 weeks with no problems and one @ 24 weeks. He spent 132 days in the NICU, 10 weeks on a ventilator, had 9 surgeries and 16 blood transfusions. Today he is 6 years old and in 1st grade. It has been a very long road for him and he still carries much as a result of his extreme premature birth. still i know just how lucky my 1 pound wonder boy is and for that i count my blessings.
